        XBRLAPI Licensing
    </h1>

    <h2>
        Overview
    </h2>

    <p>
        The XBRLAPI Project distributes its software under version 3.0 of
        <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html">the Lesser General Public License (LGPL)</a>.
    </p>

    <p>
        This license enables the XBRLAPI Project to develop and distribute software through
        collaborative open source software development. Contributors always retain all rights to use
        their original contributions for any other purpose outside of the XBRLAPI Project while
        providing the XBRLAPI Project with the right to distribute and build upon their work.
    </p>

    <p>
        To this end, all contributions to the XBRLAPI Project need to be covered by a Contributor License
        Agreement.
    </p>

    <h2>Contributor License Agreements (CLA)</h2>

    <p>
        The XBRLAPI Project desires that all individual contributors of ideas, code, or documentation to the XBRLAPI
        complete, sign,
        and submit (via email) an <a href="IndividualAgreement.odt">Individual CLA</a>
        (in <a href="http://www.odfalliance.org/">Open Document Format</a>) (<a href="IndividualAgreement.pdf">Alternative
        PDF format</a>).
        The purpose of this agreement is to clearly define the terms under which intellectual property has been
        contributed to the XBRLAPI Project and
        thereby allow us to defend the project should there be a legal dispute regarding the software at some future
        time. A signed CLA is required to
        be on file before an individual is given commit rights to the XBRLAPI Project.
    </p>

    <p>
        For a corporation that has assigned employees to work on the XBRLAPI Project, a <a
            href="CorporateAgreement.odt">Corporate CLA</a> (CCLA)
        (in <a href="http://www.odfalliance.org/">Open Document Format</a>) (<a href="CorporateAgreement.pdf">Alternative
        PDF format</a>)
        is available for contributing intellectual
        property via the corporation, that may have been assigned as part of an employment agreement. A CCLA does not
        remove the need
        for every contributing developer to sign their own CLA as an individual, to cover any of their contributions
        which are not owned by the
        corporation signing the CCLA.
    </p>

    <p>
        CLAs and CCLAs may be submitted by emailing a scan of the signed copy to <a href="mailto:admin@xbrlapi.org">admin@xbrlapi.org</a>.
